That's what I think too. It's more about the life coaches and Dr. Stan not acknowledging their own failures - failure to help Lisa, failure to recognize that she was manipulating them long before they did, failure to kick her out so as not to compromise the process for other women in the house. They blew it with Lisa and rather than acknowledge their own errors with her, it seems like they are going to pretend that any of her accomplishments after she left the house were part of the "master plan" and then graduate her. I don't expect much of anything to stick with her long term, so they did her no favors.
